Birthplace: Midway, Kentucky

Brittany employee since 1989

Dale started working with horses as a summer job at the age of 13 which was pretty normal for any young man from Midway. However, Dale soon found that he had a passion for horses and it seems as if it will be a lifelong one. After serving as Broodmare foreman at Parrish Hill Stud, Dale came to Brittany as the Broodmare manager. It was not long after that he married Patty Mowry (Logan), our Yearling Manager. Dale is now the Farm Manager at Brittany. For relaxation Dale enjoys anything fishing but particularly ocean fishing.
